sound wizard
I tried it and said that I can't find the hardware.
No sound, there is also a computer used on the 750ti graphics card, after installing the driver, it goes black.

I tried installing chromium via package and I got a segmentation fault. Maybe I'll try one of the portable browsers on this forum.

I installed google chrome from the official website.

I was able to run it with the following command:

Code: Select all

run-as-spot /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

after that I was able to log into gitlab.

Note that the run-as-spot command only works if you are the root user. It doesn't work if you are already spot.

I didn't try this run-as-spot command with chromium or iron, so maybe they might have worked with this command.

P.S. I'm able to log into gitlab in firefox-esr in my tiny_puduan distro so I'm not sure why it isn't working on buster with firefox-esr.

I installed DpupBuster CE 64 because I wanted a more official version of pkg for testing purposes. Since the version that I use in my tiny_puduan is "heavily modified" or at least it is according to sc0ttman it won't be acceptable as a testing environment if I want to contribute to the official version of pkg.

Some differences that I noticed for pkg in dpup buster vs the official version of pkg:

The file ppa2pup, doesn't seem to exist. Also ppa2pup no longer seems to be referenced in /usr/sbin/pkg.

See:
https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/Pkg/blob/mast ... /pkg#L1493
https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/Pkg/blob/mast ... /pkg#L1803

Please let me know of any modifications that you made to pkg?

BTW, the following command doesn't seem to work properly:

Code: Select all

pkg --repo-update

It hangs because 0seup is looking for user input. Pressing "enter" a few times helps the script finish but the prompt doesn't show.

I haven't tried it yet but you might be interested in wdlkmpx changes here:

Code: Select all

  # now call petget 0setup.. [add argument]
  /usr/local/petget/0setup x &>$TMPDIR/update_repo_results

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/P ... 2a6c2381a7
https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/Pkg/issues/71

When I tested this I missed the part where wdlkmpx said that it required a patched 0setup:

Pkg was not compatible with current stuff in the testing branch

This Pkg is somewhat fixed to work with current woofce
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/Pkg/commits

But requires a patched 0setup:
f99cf47

In puppy/woof/fyhk everything is tightly integrated and the design is terrible, it's surprisingly easy to break stuff for everyone else just by making improvements to the code. It's not that hard to understand that.

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... -543370726

Or as an alternative to using 0setup, one can use ppa2pup. I have created a faster version of ppa2pup. See:
github.com/s243a/.../usr/sbin/ppa2pup
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=117436

sc0ttman, wants to keep the old version of ppa2pup (see post). Therefore, I'll probably rename my awk version of ppa2pup to something like ppa2pup_gawk.

Anyway, I would be interested to know of any changes that you made to pkg. I recall reading something about dpup buster having issues with the multi-arch symlink, when using pkg. For testing, I want to use as official code as possible but I need to be aware of any potential issues like the multi-arch symlink that you previously mentioned. I can copy sc0ttman's official code into dpup buster but I need to know of any potential issues than need to be resolved, that you patched.

hi s243a.
The pkg I use is the official one.
the pkg --repo-update if it works. what if it takes time to update,
When I used the puppylinux repo it was fast.
but reading the repo debian takes time updating.
and dpupbuster only uses repos debian.

I will test your modifications, which you mention and I will be commenting on you.

There is a merge request now:

https://gitlab.com/sc0ttj/Pkg/merge_requests/4

the code to be merged works, although:
- there might be some logic issues to work out regarding how to call 0setup (if at all) [1]
- I included sc0ttman's suggested code as part of this branch to be merged without testing (see commit). I'll test this tonight.

Maybe, wait a few days for these details to be worked out, unless you want to contributed to the discussion about the merge request.

. That said if you want to do some testing, there are only two files that need to be replaced. These are:
/usr/sbin/pkg
/usr/sbin/ppa2pup_gawk

Notes
---------------------------

1 -

BTW, how we use ppa2pup or ppa2pup_gawk as a fallback to 0setup when 0setup doesn't exist needs more work:

ppa2pup only works on .deb based pups,
IIRC, in standard Puppy only third-party repos go in /etc/sources.list and /etc/slackpkg/mirrors, not system repos, so they would't get updated
we need to also handle Slackware pups if 0setup doesn't exist (fall back to slack2pup?)

We need to check $DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT:

if .deb based pup, and no 0setup, use ppa2pup
if slack based pup, and no 0setup, use slack2pup
if no repos in /etc/sources.list or /etc/mirrors/slackpkg.... ?????

Does this mean the latest from gitlab? That is the the latest.. Or do you mean the PET file from the Pkg forum thread? (cos that is not the latest.. )

Posted: **Sat 30 Nov 2019, 23:53**

s243a, just delete the Pkg in dpup buster and pull down the latest master branch from Gitlab, that way you can be sure you have the latest Pkg and you dont make others have to trawl through so many snippets and comments and links, all just to check what version of Pkg is being used..

You're right sc0ttman. use 1.9.22. and pkg-apt-wrapper-0.1-noarch.

Ah OK, the latest version on Gitlab has lots of fixes & improvements since then..
An more to come (thanks s243a and wpdlmx)

You can download the repo as a zip, then manually copy it over..
Or use the installer script..

I'll have (little) a bit more time to work on Pkg soon ..

Hopefully will get a few nice speedups, fixes n features in there before too long.
